Learn how to remove the drive shaft on a Fiat Panda. Lift the car on a column lift and locate the drive shaft.

Using a socket spanner, undo the securing bolts on either side of the drive shaft (remove the bolts around the plates) where it is situated. Once the part is removed, take it out of the vehicle (replace it with a new drive shaft).

Finally, refit the new drive shaft (connect it on both sides) and tighten the appropriate bolts. Lower the car and test its proper functioning.
